Boca Hoops is the youth basketball program for the children of the metropolitan Boca Raton area. Registration is held March-April prior to the Season. The Divisions of Boca Hoops are Coed 7 year old; Under 9 Boys & Girls; Under 11 Boys & Girls; Under 13 Boys; Under 15 Boys & Girls. (The age as of September 1st of the Season determines the slotting of the children.)
The Pre-Season begins with the Jamboree, the weekend before Labor Day Weekend. The Jamboree is the event for the preseason exhibition games. Each team plays 3 games, run time clock. It’s the event that introduces the players and coaches with the other teams in their division.
The Season begins the weekend after Labor Day. Each team will have one, one-hour practice per week. The coach of each team will determine the day, time and site of the team’s practice. Each team will play every weekend (Friday night and/or Saturday) and will have some weeknight games.
